From Study Stress To Study Success: 14 Tips That Will Take You To The Top

By Lachlan Haynes


You don't have to let things get you down. You don't have to allow life to beat you down and stop you from doing everything you want to do. Don't worry if you're feeling overcome, anxious and exhausted. Why? Because today's the day for you to turn your troubles into motivation and your doubts into inspiration!

Below are 14 tips that can turn your study stress into study success in only a few minutes!

1. Create goals for yourself. Write down your goals and include everything you want to achieve this year and all the years that follow. Then look at your goals every day so that you know them off by heart. If you don't know what you want you will never be motivated to take action!

2. Identify obstacles that stand in your path. Figure out those things that are preventing you from achieving your goals - and then remove them from the picture. Don't allow time-wasters (like video games) and energy-suckers (like hopeless friends) to steer you off on a path you don't want. Know what you want.

3. Identify the actions you need to take. It's one thing to write out your goals. It's another things altogether to understand what it will take to make them happen. Figure out what the actions are that make up your goals. What will take you from where you are now to where you want to go?

4. Give your actions a priority. Now that you know what you need to do to get what you want it's time to give those actions a priority. Which actions need to happen straight away? Which ones can you hold off on for a week or a month? Whatever you do, make sure you are taking action. The difference between success and failure is more times than not simply take some action. So do something!

5. Imagine how successful you are going to be. Focus your thought on your success. Think about all the achievements you are going to have. Think about what it will mean to you when you reach your goals. Focus only on that. Can you taste it?

6. Create affirmations and then read them every day. Write down whatever you need to tell yourself each day to get yourself pumped up, grateful for life and ready to rock. Then make sure you can fit it into your school bag, wallet or purse so that you can read it whenever you want some inspiration.

7. Stretch and breathe. Don't just breathe to live, breathe to relax! Deep breaths are great for keeping your cool and getting the energy flowing. Stretching is great for getting the blood flowing and getting your muscles active. So breathe deeply whenever you think of it and stretch like a madman whenever you have a chance!

8. Watch videos and read books and blogs. Find someone who can make your life better, easier and more enjoyable and then listen to them! Learn the strategies. Apply the strategies. Make your life better, easier and more enjoyable. You don't have to invent things yourself. It really is that simple.

9. Love every minute. There is no point "existing". You need to "live". What does it mean to live? It means loving what you're doing - at all times. Now, it's hard to get excited about school or work each day, there is no question about that, but your life is short and you need to enjoy it. You need to make each day count. Love your life.

10. Surround yourself with winners. People who win for a living live a very different life to those that are happy with just going with the flow. If you want to make something of yourself you need to be surrounded by people who also want that - or already have it. Look around. Who are you spending your time with?

11. Become a water drinker. Our brains are 75% water. You can only survive a few days without water before you will die. Waters rids our bodies of disease. Water converts food to energy. Water protects you from sickness. 90% of your blood is water. Water is truly a potent weapon! So start drinking lots of it - every day! It's not that hard.

12. Eat smaller meals more often. If you eat trash you'll feel like trash. If you eat well, you'll feel well. It's not rocket science. But what you may not know is that having several smaller meals a day reduces your chances of being overweight or obese. Stop eating things that are killing you and start eating delicious and nutritious food. But you already know that one don't you? But do you do it?

13. Reduce your consumption of the four fatal stimulants. Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and sugar are a perfect storm - for illness and disease! If you want to die a young and painful death then knock yourself out. Most people don't really want that - but it doesn't mean they don't consume dangerous things. You wouldn't give cigarettes, coffee, alcohol or loads of sugar to your pet, so why do you consume them? Do you have more respect for your pet than yourself? Weird.

14. Tense and relax. Tense and relax. Ah! Feel better? Apparently tensing all of your muscles and then relaxing them boosts your immune system and cleans your lymphatic system. What's that? Who cares! Still good for you. Tense and relax, tense and relax. I'm so relaxed right now.

You have the power to make your life whatever you want it to be. But it truly is up to you. You must not allow others or circumstances to prevent you from doing whatever it is you want to do. Take massive action every day and kick some studying butt! Good luck.
